The first two chapters of the book started out very fast, it allready got into some of the action at the end of the first chapter.
Some connections that I made were that my dad used to live on a farm, I can tell by what he explaind to me about farming and farming 500 years ago were very different.
Another connection is that they both had someone that could make the decisions but it was alot different then today. In the 21st century we have government back then they just had rulers passed down from blood and wealth.
In chapter two the boy wants to go back to the broken down wall to get his baseball cap with the bullet whole. Any kid including me would want a hat with a bullet whole to brag about.
Overall I think these two chapters were intersting and very exciting!
Honestly I thought that you made very good connections to the text and your life; but it would be even better if you wrote more about your points and listed more reasons. For example you talked about when your dad used to live on a farm, maybe you could have talked more about what exactly was the difference in farming then and now. I also liked your connection with the bullet hat thingy, but maybe you could talk about why you would want to brag! Maybe because nothing exciting really happens so it'll make you seem like a hero or whatnot. Finally, I'm happy that you felt these two chapters were interesting and very exciting, but you could have added numerous reasons that made it so! Anyways, nice work and I believe that it'll be even better if you expanded upon your connections or statements.
